Horrible! Obama Administration Is Pushing For Investigation of Israel

The Obama Administration is pushing for an international investigation of Israel’s defense and preservation of its homeland.
Obama abandons Israel.
Anne Bayefsky from EYE on the UN published this article today at Forbes:
The Obama administration is pushing for an internationalized investigation of Israel’s recent effort to preserve its naval blockade of Hamas-run Gaza. In an extraordinary interference with the sovereignty of a democratic society and its right of self-defense, Secretary of State Hilary Clinton said Wednesday that the United States wants “a prompt, impartial, credible and transparent investigation. … We are open to different ways of assuring a credible investigation, including international participation … ”
Assistant Secretary of State Philip J. Crowley elaborated that the administration was demanding Israel produce “an investigation that is broadly viewed as credible by the international community.” That would be the same international community which has condemned Israel without the facts, and which has refused to walk back their spontaneous reactions, though the video evidence of armed “civilian” attackers and martyr-seeking “humanitarians” now stares them in the face.
Late Monday night President Obama agreed to a unanimous U.N. Security Council presidential statement, which demanded “a prompt, impartial, credible and transparent investigation conforming to international standards.” At the U.N. everyone knew that such language meant a new U.N.-sponsored investigation mirroring the infamous U.N. Goldstone Report on the 2009 Gaza war. That report was produced by four investigators who had all publicly declared Israel guilty before they began, and who operated under a mandate that incorporated a guilty verdict from the outset.
Right on cue–and encouraged by the Security Council statement–on Wednesday the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) adopted a resolution deciding “to dispatch an independent international fact-finding mission to investigate violations of international law, including humanitarian and human rights law, resulting from the Israeli attacks on the flotilla of ships carrying humanitarian assistance.”
In other words, once again the U.N. created a fact-finding mission to determine the facts it had already found. Among other things, the resolution states: “the Human Rights Council … condemns in the strongest terms the outrageous attack by the Israeli forces.”
While the Obama administration voted against the HRC resolution, it did not use its membership on the council to impede in any way the numerous breaches in procedure which made the debate and the introduction of the resolution to condemn Israel possible in the first place. Never in its history had the council held what was uniquely labeled an “urgent debate” on any human rights issue at all, anywhere.

the akp is allied with the ihh which is allied to al qaeda.
ergo: turkish govt is part of the axis of evil. along with iran.
if obama was leading the defense of the free world then he’d be putting pressure on turkey, not israel.
jews who support obama are judenrat.
since he’s become potus, obama has pressured & hurt israel more than iran.
obama is a traitor to the west.
our retreater and appeaser in chief.
it matters not if he does this out of appeasement or collusion: the effect is the same.
obama;’s left-wing background makes me think it’s because he hates the west and wants to see the west subservient to jihad and transnational socialism.
we can stop him this november.

I am so beyond complaining about this moron in the White House. November can’t come soon enough.
Chisum commented:
It’s freaking Bizarro world!
John Gargano commented:
This is pure insanity!
The people of America strongly and overwhelmingly support Israel. Our government is not only failing to represent the people, it is now acting in direct opposition to what the people want.
What on earth do they expect to derive from this arrogant abrogation of their Constitutional responsibility?
jonyjoe101 commented:
Take care of our borders first before you worry about how someone else protect there borders. Fix the oil spill, fix the budget. Stop worrying about his muslim freinds. Better yet investigate the “sestak” matter.
Why didn’t this “idiot” tell calderon that his immigration laws where too strict, stricter than Arizona laws?
Even if Israel had sunk those boats, we don’t care. It doesn’t involved us, let Europe and Nato take care of Israel if they are feeling brave. It’s there neighborhood, there problem.
Dell commented:
I understand it perfectly.
Israel is guilty.
Now we’re going to have an investigation and then maybe a trial, to see if they’re ….
Oh, ….Wait
Valerie commented:
I am sure the report from the investigation will be every bit as impartial, transparent, skilled, complete, and scientific as their last report on global warming.
Do I really need the /s?
Freddy commented:
Of course, Obama expects nothing but the honest truth from the UN investigative panel consisting of representatives from Libya, Iran, Syria, Jordan, North Korea, and Venezuela!
Obama is, simply put, a fool.
Valerie commented:
More on global warming: the sinking islands, aren’t.

The Pessimistic American commented:
Frankly, while having no full understanding of events if Israel was in the right or wrong, this sounds like Obama is pandering to other counties in the region…
Opus #6 commented:
We need a full and independent investigation of the OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.
Oh, wait. Now I get it. Obama is acting just like the Middle Eastern tyrants. He is calling for jew hatred as a distraction from his failings.
dnb commented:
Where’s Congress? What say you?
Rose commented:
It will be Odrama Queen’s turn to be investigated before he can say Jack Diddly!!!
chili palmer commented:
Not a word about North Korea’s premeditated torpedoing of a South Korean ship killing more than 46 innocent South Koreans? Months have gone by, not a word, no investigation of an armed military act of war? Where in God’s name are the republicans or independents? Their silence is as much a disgrace as Obama’s. And I don’t mean a media sound bite from has-beens Gingrich, Rove, etc. Or even Boehner. No sound bites. Where the hell is a leader? Chris Christie can’t do everything.
Andreas K. commented:
German chancellor Merkel demanded the same thing.
Sandy commented:
Well Obama has already reached his conclusion now all that’s left is the investigation.
I wonder if this investigation will run concurrently with British Petroleum and Goldman Sachs.
Sandy commented:
We have Lieberman coming out today saying that Obama is Israel’s best friend while Obama launches his investigation of Israel’s actions.
My head is spinning …
Sandy commented:
Obama told Gov. Brewer that he is determined to have a Comprehensive Immigration Bill this year and said later today that he will have Cap and Trade by the end of this year and is willing to work with anyone to get it. Then he started his rant against Republicans.
Hang in there Israel — you are being added to a long list of those Obama hates. Actually, its an honor to make the list.
